Normally I'd agree (I understand what the code does), but I don't have any
errors - and all sysfs entries! - after boot, so as far as I can tell the
flag isn't set properly even after a successful boot, and then leads to
spews on resume. Maybe the entire process is racy somehow?

My card is an admittedly old, but perfectly working fanless (!) HD 5500,
1GB RAM, driver is r600 and everything - including dpms, suspend/wakeup etc.
works fine. I tried to disable dpm on boot and that of course stopped the
warnings, but then the card was constantly at ~55° instead of the usual
~45°, for no noticeably win in performance.

If you have any other suggestions or patches for me to try I'd be glad
to test/verify. In the meantime I think setting the flag is the easiest
fix; it certainly works for me.

Thanks for looking into it!

cheers
Holger
